Issue - meetings

Members considered a full application, submitted by Mick Callum for a single storey flat-roofed extension to rear.

Officers updated the committee that there had been 6 further objections received which expressed concerns about aggravating existing parking problems, overdevelopment, loss of privacy and amenity and missing drainage details.  In addition, there was a letter received from a previous owner stating that the garage was for the sole use of the house.

Mr Scott, a neighbour addressed the committee in objection to the application and stated that he had spoken to the previous owner of the application site who had confirmed that the permission for the garage had been granted as long as it continued to be a garage.  He raised further concerns about omission on the drawings such as no elevation shown, boundary line is incorrect and the street lighting is not located in the correct place.  He stated that there will be loss of privacy to 144 and a general fear of overlooking and loss of amenity and acerbating parking problems.

RESOLVED:That the application be approved in line with the conditions and recommendations in the report with the addition that the application must provide secure cycle storage.

REASON:                 As the application complies with planning policy and would not cause harm to residential amenity.
